The full write up:

The Asset AV-3 Series of semiautomatic liquid, cream and paste filling machines offer a simple to operate heavy duty design with a proven history of reliability and ease of use and cleaning. The versatility of this all pneumatic machine has now been enhanced with a completely new compact design volume adjustment and cylinder assembly incorporating a revolutionary rotary valve system, an Australian Registered Design developed by Asset for the AV-3's big brother, the AMF Series multi cylinder bottle filler.

The new valve system handles bottling products from thin liquids to creams and thick pastes, even package products with soft suspended solids, a task previously requiring 2 different types of filling machine or expensive change parts. The new cylinder design enables quicker dismantling and easier more thorough cleaning of wet parts. Various product supply methods can be used according to the nature of product or customer preference e.g.. Close coupled hopper, suction hose inlet assembly, elevated or floor level tank, and low pressure feed from a pump.

Although designed primarily for trolley mounted semiautomatic operation the AV-3 series design can be automated onto a conveyor line or specialised automatic filling application.

The stroke adjuster and air/product cylinder drive assembly are enclosed by a safety interlocked polycarbonate cover.

Standard Features:

• Heavy duty pneumatic product cylinder drive system
• Integral 304-grade stainless steel base and cladding for bench or trolley mounting
• Suitable for warm water hose down
• Wet parts manufactured from 316 grade stainless steel and food grade engineering plastics
• Product piston fitted with O-ring energised teflon/HDPE glide ring seal
• Quick connect triclover product inlet/outlet fittings
• All pneumatic flameproof operation suitable for use with flammable products
• Individual fill speed and recharge speed controls
• Asset Rotary Product Valve system provides a positive valve seal unaffected by product supply head height
• Available in 50, 125, 250, 500, 1300ml cylinder sizes, all infinitely adjustable between 10% and 100% of their rated volumes with facility to interchange different cylinder sizes
• Product Cylinder and valve dismantle by hand for cleaning, no tools required
• Volume adjustment whilst running by single handwheel
• Filling accuracy +/- 0.5 to 1%

Options:

• Additional sizes of interchangeable product cylinder and piston assemblies
• Stainless steel trolley (long term hire)
• High temperature spool/food valve for hot filling
